i am reminded of every conversation i've had with an american about cars
"it's a porcelain 92 gto"
what
"oh it's a classic sports off road with a laplace transmission"
what
....
"it's a car. big car. red car"
big red car, got it
it has gotten to the point where i just ask "is that a grass type" when someone gives me an incomprehensible name, because i also have no idea about pokemon, either

@npub1upk…tcwy i do `git commit -m “” --allow-empty --allow-empty-commit` as the first commit in a project
so if i add some gh-pages branch later, it always starts from an empty repo

the problem i have with "enshittification", other than it's a word that sounds like a doctor who fan swearing
is that people talk about it being a property of companies, as if one day the ceo work up transformed into a capitalist
when "enshittification" is a property of the system. you go public. you're beholden to shareholder value, activist investors, and buyouts
not to be all "the purpose of a system is what it does" here but, y'know
